when i got my laptop i was able to go to media player see a guide and watch tv and movies free...i don't know why i can't anymore...recently did a restore to factory but television watching still did not comeback...i have windows 7
I'm trying to upgrade from XP to Windows 7. My PC is a Sony Vaio PCV-RZ504 with a TV tuner: Gigapocket.
I used the newest software available from Sony, but XP version is available only. Version of software is 5.5
Installing the software is no problem, but starting it gives unexpected errors. Has anybody succeeded in using gigapocket with Windows 7?
Update: last night I managed to install Sony Mpeg decoder software (part of the Gigapocket 5.5 installation kit). No strange low level errors occur any longer. But starting gigapocket generates the message "Unable to locate Sony TV Tuner". Starting the TV Setup tells me that another application is using overlay. Is windows 7 using overlay in any of its components?
I've decided to install a copy of windows 7 (one of the newest ones) although I'm not sure if my tv tuner is compatible. When they used to release BETA's I installed build 7000 which was a while back, but the tv tuner never worked, it would never recognize the drivers.
Although seeing as build 7600 is available I thought I might give it go, but just wanted to check up with the experts if the card will be compatible or if there is a way to make it compatible.
Uninstalled and reinstalled my Radeon graphics card driver and during this I downloaded the DriverTuner "free" programme. It detected (surprise, surprise) over 30 out of date drivers.Has anyone used this - is it worth registering for?terestingly I ran it after I reinstalled my graphics driver and it's recognised it but says there are problems still. This is interesting as I've been having the occasional crash with it (hence the uninstall/reinstall of it)
I have a Toshiba laptop (Satellite L500-1DT) and am trying to connect it to my LG Television through an HDMI cable. It asks me for a driver but am not sure which driver to download.
I have an enter e210 tv tuner card with philips saa7130 chip.I have the drivers and wintvr 3 for xp.I want to know where i can find drivers for windows 7?
Now that Windows 7 RC Came out, the Theater 550 Card doesn't work. I tried the Hauppauge card and it also has issues with Windows 7 (Freezes all the time). What card is recomended by Microsoft.
It seems as much time and money I throw at the RC, Media Center doesnt work in Windows 7. Worked awesome in Vista (I'm going back to vista... ewww) It's supposed to enable awesome television for the home, you would think there would be some decent cards out there that anyone could buy at Best Buy or Fry's.
